Verdict
With more rain forecast, GAME PIE's ability to handle a testing surface will have to be taken on trust. But he just about has the best form on offer on faster ground with a recent second at Newmarket so Hugo Palmer's colt gets the vote. Muqtaser is not far behind on his debut fourth at Ascot and should make a race of it but the rest are harder to fancy on the little they have shown so far.
